Welcome to Mulberry School
The Mulberry School is an independent, private, non-profit school that provides children with the opportunity to learn in an environment that values curiosity and natural development. We work to "nurture the innate love of learning" by teaching children how, as opposed to what, to learn.
Serving the Bloomington-Normal community since 1971, Mulberry School is a cooperative institution where parents have the opportunity to participate in nearly every aspect of the school. It is this support and input that allows us to provide a unique learning experience for our students.

Camp Invention Coming to Mulberry School
February 24, 2014
We have some BIG news to share… Camp Invention is coming to Mulberry School from July 14-18, 2014! We’re proud to be hosting this nationally acclaimed summer enrichment program for our rising 1st-6th grade students and those in surrounding communities.
The cost is $220 for the week, but discounts are available. If you register by March 28, 2014, you will receive $25 off per child. For families registering three or more siblings, a deeper savings of $50 per child is offered all season long.
This summer’s all new curriculum is entitled “Morphed!” During Morphed!, participants spend their time building original prototypes and creating a personalized motor-powered vehicle, while designing, improving and analyzing their own inventions in a group setting.
Qualified educators from our school district will be facilitating the program, which boosts 21st century skills, knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and teamwork.
Although Camp Invention is new to us, it’s been around for quite awhile. Created by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the program has been inspiring children since 1990. Currently offered in 49 states at approximately 1200 locations, parents and educators rave about it, giving it an approval rating of more than 90%.
